RPK Airsoft

Historical presentation of the RPK

The RPK-74 is a light machine gun and automatic weapon for special forces. It was designed in 1974 by the famous Russian designer Mikhail Kalashnikov as a modern version of the AK-47. Indeed, the RPK-47 is literally the modified LMG variant of the AK-47. In fact, the RPK was created as part of a program to standardize the Red Army's small arms inventory. The RPK-47 was used by many countries from Eastern Europe to Asia due to the affiliation of some countries to the Soviet Union. The RPK-47 was replaced in 1991 by a much more modern variant, the RPK-74M.

Today, the RPK-47 continues to be used by the armed forces of former Soviet Union countries and some African and Asian countries. The RPK-47 continues to be manufactured in Bulgaria, Romania and Yugoslavia.
